In an announcement on Jun.11, 2018, made public by Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman, New York City will pay $2 billion to settle claims of corruption and mismanagement at the nation's largest public housing agency. Investigators claim that water leaks, holes in walls, lead paint, mold, malfunctioning elevators and rats are a part of daily life for the thousands of residents living in public housing. The deal also calls for the appointment of a monitor to oversee the city-run public housing authority during the 10-year span of the agreement. (Spencer Platt / Getty Images)",
